Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Owen is exhibiting signs of the resistance stage, where the body adapts to the stressor and tries to cope with it. The headaches and stomachaches are common symptoms of this stage as the body tries to fight off the stressor. The resolution stage would occur if the stressor is successfully overcome, but it is not clear if Owen is at this stage yet. The other options, regulation and defensive, are not part of the general adaptation syndrome.
